Summary
A new antispasmodic drug was used in 24 G.I. cases. All were free of side-effects such as dryness of the mouth, dilatation of the pupils and palpitation of the heart. Relief of pain was obtained in most cases after administering the drug. Also, particularly good results were obtained in cases where hiccough was present.
The above is only a preliminary report, and at a later date the study of the drug will be continued, along the following lines:
-
1.
Its immediate effect in attacks of biliary colic.
-
2.
Its effect in cases of pylorospasm.
-
3.
Further study in cases of spastic colitis.
I wish to express my gratitude to Mr. L. T. Hilcorn, President of Clay-Adams Co., for his kind cooperation in the development of my tube.
